whatwhat say what

worth remembering that the crom will be looking to trade out of the pointy end of the 2024 draft as their father-son selection - tyler, son of scott, welsh - is likely considered a top selection

i've always found it strange that they adopted that inxs song - i know it was about the split forced on them between afl and sanfl versions of 'port adelaide', but it's played out now with the teams being together for a long time now once the port maggies leave the sanfl for the vfl / national reserves competition in the coming years, it really won't be applicable at all anymore

lynch a hamstring

how humble is he? in career best form

if he can do what he did in the last 45 mins of a game like that with one hand, imagine how good he'll be when he has two working mitts?

what happened to lynch?

if you look at their history, this is what they do - compete and be there or thereabouts, win a premiership, hang around competing, bottom out... rinse / repeat they've only been out of finals for three seasons, and presumably 2024 will be their fourth missing out in a row

when you really don't want to be poor in 2027-2031 they - and the eventual 20th team - will pick the eyes out of the draft

other than reid, if there's a meth coke player i'd target to come to a third club and finish his career playing in a finals side it's elliot yeo over tim kelly

i'm very curious as to whether he stays as a wingman his entire career or eventually shift to being able to rotate into an on-ball role his ability to break away from the contest is a weapon

go get him, tim lamb

the exceptions that proved the rule i was sitting high up in the ponsford; the only row behind us filled up and the chap sitting behind us looked through the gaping hole where the southern stand was being built and said "huh...you can see the dandenongs from here" you couldn't see what was happening deep in the forward pocket underneath us tho

the half time switch of petty to a defensive forward role on aliir was inspired

i think derm just recalled beating up on us his entire playing career and, as such, considers us inferior an inherent bias

IN: May OUT: Hore hore to be the sub again

the maggots had no effect on the result i don't reckon it was a super game of footy which, in the cold light of a win, i can bask in the glory of watching

another jt special his defensive efforts are even more impressive than his run and carry

the amount of whinging about the umpires - from both sets of supporters - is pretty extraordinary

imo that was a win for the ages two top 4 sides who failed in finals going hammer and tongs great footy to watch as a neutral; absolute nailbiter as a fan

6: neal-bullen 5: gawn 4: oliver 3: rivers 2: brown 1: langdon apologies to everyone in the backline, who were unreal i thought

two super important goals in the last minute

so good sideshow bob

three frees should've been there and they got the last of em

clock em in the head and they tend to get frees

lever has gotta be jabbed up with the way he's kicking
